AMN Survey Results: Majority Believes Small Business Will Eventually Turn Around

When we asked AMN readers for their thoughts on the future of small business, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

A recent survey conducted by Discover showed that small business owners were continuing to struggle despite the current economic rebound. To help resolve this issue, last week, President Obama proposed a federal tax cut on small businesses to encourage their stability and promote hiring.

When we asked AMN readers for their thoughts on the future of small business, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. More than 80 percent believe that small business will turn around, but say it’s going to take some time.

Below is a complete breakdown of results.
